Baby nearly drowns at apartment

San Diego  A baby was hospitalized in critical condition Friday afternoon after nearly drowning in a tub at a City Heights apartment complex, San Diego police said.

The mother of the 10-month-old girl called 911 about 3:40 p.m. to summon police and paramedics to the complex on 42nd Street near University Avenue, said police Lt. Andra Brown.

Police officers found the infant in a bathtub, unresponsive, and started CPR, Brown said. They got the baby breathing and paramedics took the child to Rady Children’s Hospital, where she was listed in stable but critical condition.

The mother was questioned by child abuse unit detectives, and was cooperative, Brown said.
